However, even the most minor procedures have the potential to permanently injure patients in Kentucky when safety regulations are taken for granted. A doctor in another state was recently accused of medical malpractice after a patient ended up with permanent brain damage.

Doctors, nurses and all medical professionals are often considered heroes, saving the lives of patients on a daily basis.
